Ezra 6
1 Aa le namantoke t’i Dariavese vaho nihotsohotsoeñe i anjombam-pañajan-taratasiy, am-panontonam-bara e Bavele ao.
Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
2 Le nitendrek’ amy anjomba e Akmetà ao, amy faritane’ o nte-Madaioy ty boke-peleke, le sinokitse ama’e ao ty hoe: Ty talily:
And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a roll, and therein was thus written for a record.
3 Amy taom-baloha’ i Korese, mpanjakay, le nanao tsey t’i Korese mpanjaka: I anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaimey, te hamboareñe i anjombay, i fañengà’ iareo soroñey naho añoreñañe fatratse o mananta’eo; ty haabo’e, kiho enempolo naho ty ampohe’e, kiho enempolo;
In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree; Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be builded, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;
4 naho firiritam-bato jabajaba, telo naho fidadañam-bodan-katae vao, le ho tolorañe boak’ añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay ty drala’e;
with three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house:
5 le ampolieñe ka o fanake volamena naho volafotin’ anjomban’ Añahare nakare’ i Nebokadnetsare boak’ añ’ anjomba’e e Ierosalaime ao naho nendese’e mb’e Bavele mb’eoo; hahereñe, songa an-toe’e añ’ anjomba e Ierosalaime vaho hapok’ amy anjomban’ Añaharey.
And also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place, and thou shalt put them in the house of God.
6 Ie amy zao, ry Tatenay mpifelek’ alafe’ i Sakay naho i Setar-botsenay naho o mpiama’ areo nte Afaresake alafe’ i Sakaio, ihalaviro;
Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
7 apoho hanoeñe i fitoloñañe amy anjomban’ Añahareiy; le angao handranjy i anjomban’ Añaharey an-toe’e eo ty mpifehe o nte-Iehodao naho o mpiaolo’ Iehodao.
let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
8 Mbore tseizeko ty hanoa’ areo amo mpiaolo’ o nte-Iehoda mpamboatse i anjomban’ Añahareioo; te hatolotse am-pahimbañañe boak’ amo varam-panjaka amy haba alafe’ i Sakaio am’ indaty rey ze drala paiae’e, vaho tsy ho sebañeñe.
Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, expenses be given with all diligence unto these men, that they be not hindered.
9 Le ze paia’ iareo, amo baniao naho o añondrilahio naho o vik’ añondrio, hisoroñañe amy Andrianañaharen-dikerañey; vare-bolè, sira, divay naho menake. Le ze saontsi’ o mpisoroñe e Ierosalaimeo ty amahana’o aze boak’ andro boak’ andro vaho tsy hilesa;
And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:
10 hañengàñe soroñe marifondrifoñe amy Andrianañaharen-dindiñey naho ihalaliañe ty havelo’ i mpanjakay naho o anadahi’eo.
that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savour unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
11 Tovoñako ty hoe te ze mañova o entañe zao ro hañakarañe boda amy anjomba’ey, le honjoñen-dre hapitek’ ama’e; vaho hanoeñe votrim-porompotse i traño’ey;
Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this:
12 vaho ehe te harotsan’ Añahare nampimoneñe ty tahina’e ao ze mpanjaka ndra ondaty te hañity fitàñe hañova izay, hampianto i anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaimey. Izaho Dariavese ty mitsey: ee t’ie ho henefañe masìka.
and the God that hath caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples, that shall put forth their hand to alter [the same], to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.
13 Aa le nihavatse nitoloñe t’i Tatenay, mpifelek’ alafe’ i Sakay naho i Setar-botsenay naho o mpiama’eo ty amy nampihitrife’ i Dariavese mpanjakay.
Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the river; Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, because that Darius the king had sent, did accordingly with all diligence.
14 Le nandranjy naho niraorao o mpiaolo-nte-Iehodao ty amy fitokia’ i Kagaý mpitoky naho i Zekarià ana’ Idòy. Ie namboatse iereo ro nahafonitse i nandilian’ Añahare’ Israeley naho nitseize’ i Korese naho i Dariavese naho i Artaksastà mpanjaka’ i Parase rey.
And the elders of the Jews builded and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 Le nifonitse amy andro fahatelo’ i volan-Kiahiaiy i anjombay, an-taom-paha-ene’ i Dariavese, mpanjakay.
And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
16 Le nitana’ o ana’ Israeleo naho o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio vaho ty ila’ o anam-pandrohizañeo am-pirebehañe ty fañorizañe i anjomban’ Añaharey,
And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
17 ie nañenga añombelahy zato naho añondri-lahy roanjato naho vik’ añondry efa-jato amy fañorizañe i anjomban’ Añahareiy; le oselahy folo-ro’ amby ho engan-kakeo’ Israele iaby, ty ami’ty ia’ i fifokoa’ Israele rey.
And they offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
18 Le nalahatse am-pirimboñañe o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio, songa am-piosoña’e hitoroñe an’ Andrianañahare e Ierosalaime ao; ty amy sinokitse amy boke’ i Moseiy.
And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
19 Le nitana’ o anam-pandrohizañeo amy andro faha-folo-efats’ ambi’ i volam-baloha’eiy i Fihelañ’ Amboney.
And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
20 Le nitrao-pañeferañe o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio; songa nalio; le linenta’ iareo i fihelañ’ amboney ho amo anam-pandrohizañe iabio naho o mpisoroñe roahalahi’ iareoo naho o vata’ iareoo.
For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure: and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
21 Le songa nikama o ana’ Israele nimpoly boak’ am-pandrohizañeo naho o nivìke ho am’ iereo boak’ ami’ty haleora’ o kilakila’ ondati’ i taneio, hipay Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele,
And the children of Israel, which were come again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, did eat,
22 naho nitana’ iareo an-kaehake fito andro i sabadida-mofo-tsi-aman-dalivaiy; amy te nampinembanembañ’ iareo t’Iehovà vaho nampitolihe’e am’ iereo ty arofo’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey; nampaozatse ty fità’ iareo amy fitoloñañe añ’ anjomban’ Añahare, Andrianañahare’ Israeley.
and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
